Newport to face old rivals Newbridge

By Kevin Jarvis | 05/07/2018

Newport will make the short trip to Newbridge for the first time in recent years for a pre season friendly on Saturday 18th August. The match kicks off at 14:30 and will be a good warm up test in the preparation for the new Principality Premiership season which starts in September.

Although the teams haven't met on the field for a number of years we have remained close friends and regularly have permitted players in both direction to help each other out and to allow players to develop.

Newport have already announced fixtures at Hartridge and Rosslyn Park in the weeks leading up to this match and this will be the third in a series of four warm up games.
